I totally had forgotten to ask my doctor about this. After this miserable week of gas pain, sex is that last thing on my mind, thats for sure. But my boyfriend asked my yesterday about that, and I guess I hadn't even thought about it. I know its going to be a long long long time for him because this is not on my friggin list right now. LOL! Does anyone know?

Dr. Huacuz, Tijuana,

Awesome doctor!

I was told after 5 days, but to take it easy, if it hurt stop. ~Mandy

I would say within a week. Just be careful.

My doctor says as soon as you are comfortable, with a time estimate of about 3 weeks post-op.

I was told whenever I felt like it, but they prefer we wait at least until we leave the surgery center and are in the parking lot!

Seriously, they did say when I felt like it, but to be careful. We waited about a week.

Whenever you feel well enough to you can. Just be careful and if something is painful, stop.

I waited 3 days.

Well thank you all for giving your thoughts! I actually waited a week and couldn't stop after that. Ha! HAppy New Year!

I asked this in another "port" thread but it was kind of buried and I don't think anyone saw it. The other day I felt someone's port and was surprised by the size and hardness of it. Does that get uncomfortable during s-e-x?? Hell honestly I don't care if it does... it'll be worth it if it help me even feel not too gross for it anymore...

My doc said no sex for 6 week, I guess every surgeon is differrent.
